Well I sat down with a couple greencig carts today. Refilling through the battery side seemed a bit limited, so I thought I would find a way to tear one down without destroying it so it can be refilled. Here are the steps and pics.

First you'll need some basic tools.
1. Screwdriver
2. Small wood screw
3. Small tool for scraping

That's it!

First, drive the small screw into the hole in the mouth piece then pull evenly but firm. You want to make sure the screw doesn't rip out or the cap doesn't deform too badly (it will deform a bit but not enough to make it unusable). It should pop out very abruptly.

Once the cap is out you can see inside the cart. As others have said, it's a great design. There's a bit of glue/sealant around the ring where the cap was sealed in. This is where you need the small scraping tool. I have a dental pick set I use for small electronics, but a small knife blade would work.

Once the glue is removed examine the top of the plastic piece inside. There should be a small divot in the top. I used this to center the tip of the screw and, once again, drive the screw into the plastic. Try not to get too deep or make too big a hole. This should slide out fairly easily and this is what you'll find.

This inner cartridge holds A LOT of liquid. If you hold it up to a strong light you can actually watch the liquid filling it. I was able to load 1 mL in a single cart with no flooding or leaking. You can either plug the hole from the screw or leave it open. I left mine open as I plan to use this to refill with a syringe later. I've been vaping one all day without a single problem. The vape is thick and lasts all day long.

Quick pic of my mod to the kr808 battery so it works with the greencig carts.

So there it is. The GreenCig cart, the easy way.

Thanks! Believe it or not, these are cellphone pics. I thought about pulling out my Nikon DSLR, but I didn't have time to track it down and the SD card that the wife never puts back, then hope the flash batteries are charged. So I went the with the good old Moto Droid. Surprisingly decent camera on that phone.

I looked down in the cart for the hair. It lines up to one side so I lined up the curve in the "D" to the same side as hair. Then you should use the cap to push the plastic cartridge in so you don't push it down too deep. The cap has a side that's slightly longer than the other that also lines up on the curved side of the "D" shape and pushes it down just the right depth inside. I've refilled two of these carts through the hole the screw makes and it works beautifully. I found that from a clean cart you can get about 3/4mL in it without any leaking problems. I did get almost a full mL into one without leaking, but going all the way to 1mL WILL make it leak through the battery side. Not much, but I hate to loose any juice at all. Hope this makes sense!

Thanks for this info.

My idea maybe isn't as good, I was going to heat up a pin and push it straight through without opening the cart and then use syringe + needle to fill.

Guys I notice we are looking at converted KR808D here, does anyone have the same problem as me.... I find on a fresh charge burning is happening (YUK!)

Thanks!
